Chapter 34: Game time is up

"So hot!"

Xu Jiajia stood on a patch of grass; the cool breeze around her carried the scent of sweet grass.

But there was a dry heat throughout her body, making her face flush red.

Suddenly.

This patch of grass, which had originally been very short, began to grow like crazy.

These weeds elongated like vines, entangling Xu Jiajia's entire body and wrapping her in the reeds.

Slowly, breathing began to become difficult, the light before her eyes began to dissipate, and darkness shrouded the light bit by bit.

She was like a lizard trapped in quicksand, her hands reaching out desperately.

Or like someone whose feet and mouth were bound by seaweed, using their hands to desperately tear away the seaweed covering their mouth.

Whoosh—

Her whole body suddenly sank, arriving in another world.

This was a manor, peaceful all around. Her expression was panicked; she seemed not to have recovered from the environment just now.

"Meili, Xiao Wan, where are you?"

Xu Jiajia shouted at her surroundings. Wasn't I sleeping? How did I sink into this place?

Is this a dream? Why is it so real?

Have you ever tried the feeling of sinking into quicksand? Have you ever tried the fear of being shrouded by a sea of spirits?

Xu Jiajia stepped on the grass of the manor, ripples appearing under her feet, constantly spreading.

She was very panicked, very panicked.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of wind chimes came to her ears.

She had heard it before.

This was the sound made by the wind spirit at Lin Qing's house. She walked forward slowly.

She felt her legs were a bit heavy. Even though there was a cool breeze, her body was getting hotter and hotter, hotter and hotter.

Get closer.

She saw Xiao Wan and the others squatting beside the swing, playing with Wooden Blocks Ghost.

The crisp sound of wind chimes drifted out slowly, accompanied by their soft, beautiful childhood rhyme.

"The black, black sky hangs low, the bright, bright stars follow—"

"Bugs fly, bugs fly, as long as you are with me—"

Suddenly.

Xiao Wan turned her head: "Auntie, come quickly, come quickly and play with us."

The little bear also turned its head. It turned its head slowly, its hollow eyes piercing straight into the soul. The corners of its mouth raised high, and the stitching marks on its neck were shocking.

Especially inside its fur, eyes were rolling.

At the same time, she also saw Lin Qing. Lin Qing's body seemed to be forcibly assembled by lines; her flesh and blood were like square grids. To say she was a person, it would be better to say she looked like the Wooden Blocks Ghost in Xiao Wan's hands.

Lin Qing!

She hadn't seen Lin Qing for a long time, a long, long time. In her memory, her appearance had become blurred.

Even now, seeing her, it was as if she should have looked like this.

The three of them looked at her together. Xu Jiajia was so scared she took a sharp step back, covering her mouth with one hand.

"Auntie, do you want to come play too? It's very fun, you know."

"Auntie, Mommy and Little Bear are hungry!"

They were hungry.

Looking at the appearance of the three, their mouths constantly repeating a language Xu Jiajia couldn't understand, she was very afraid.

But no matter how she lifted her feet, she couldn't move.

A person drowning in a dream is hard to escape.

"Little Wan!" She trembled, opening her mouth to call to Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan led her aunt: "Auntie, don't fall behind, you know."

Whoosh—

Suddenly, her feet felt empty, and she kept falling. This sense of weightlessness felt like falling into an abyss, constantly suspended in the air.

Struggling constantly in the air.

Suddenly, she froze. Like a drowning person rushing out of the water, she breathed the air in large gulps, and her whole body sat up from the bed.

Her entire back was already soaked with cold sweat.

This is a dream, such a real dream, such a scary dream.

"Auntie, Mommy and Little Bear are hungry."

Beside her, Xiao Wan's voice came again. Xu Jiajia turned her head to look.

Lin Xiaowan was wearing floral pajama pajamas, holding the little bear, standing by the bed staring at her.

The little bear in her hand had fur that was crimson, as if it had been soaked in fresh blood, looking ghastly under the moonlight.

"Mommy and Little Bear are hungry?" Xu Jiajia asked, her hair standing on end.

Xiao Wan nodded: "Come, Auntie, let's go play together, let's go eat together, don't fall behind, you know."

As the words fell.

Xiao Wan turned around, happily singing a rhyme, skipping and jumping.

And Xu Jiajia's eyes suddenly became hollow, and as if possessed, she sat up from the bed and followed her out.

Tang Meili on the bed was still in a dream, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Game time is up!"

The moon of the fifteenth of July had already begun to slowly become round.

Moonlight spilled down, shrouding the sky above the community.

The security guard at the gate was crossing his legs, lying leisurely on a chair, listening to a tape recorder.

"Picking up from the last chapter, Pan Jinlian and Wu Song raised a tiger together. One night, the tiger suddenly went wild and did XXX to Wu Dalang. Wu Song was furious, rushed up to Jingyang Ridge, and killed the tiger in a rage, then..."

Leisurely and carefree, it seemed to be the life the old man enjoyed every day.

Suddenly, under the light in front, a seagull flew over, then merged into the ground and left quickly.

The old man just glanced at it lazily and ignored it. Let alone a seagull, even if an Ultraman Tiga walked in from the gate now, he wouldn't bother to care.

Monthly salary of 2,800, laughing happily every day.

However, not long after, another car came to the gate, and five men got out of the car.

The two leaders were exactly the two Ghost Tamers Huang Fei had invited from the White Rope Club, Scar and Shorty.

The other three were tall and sturdy, their expressions also very fierce, and they walked in from the security booth swaggeringly.

As for the access control, that thing was used to stop ordinary people and had nothing to do with them.

"Just move your hands whenever you want after we go up. Leave the Ghost to the two of us." Scarred man said coldly.

Without knowing the situation of the Ghost, the two of them would absolutely not risk themselves alone. First, they had to let these three people lure the Ghost out.

The sturdy man in the lead frowned, but he couldn't say much, after all, Boss Huang had given instructions.

The matter of luring out the Ghost naturally fell to the two lackeys beside them.

They seemed not to know what a Ghost was, just ordinary thugs.

Following Boss Huang to eat well and drink well, without having to worry about the police, naturally, they had no concerns.

Following the address all the way here, several people stood downstairs and took a look. Tang Meili's house was on the eleventh floor. At this time, all the lights in the entire community were extinguished.

The five of them openly took the elevator from downstairs.

At the same time, the poster in the elevator seemed to be rippling slightly.

A pair of eyes was watching them from inside the poster.

At the same time.

Inside the room.

Zhang Yi had already smelled the scent on them, and the Night Crow Eye had locked onto them the moment they stepped in here.

Xiao Wan and Xu Jiajia were squatting on the ground playing with Wooden Blocks Ghost.

The door of the room next to them was suddenly pushed open.

Tang Meili widened her eyes, covering her mouth in disbelief: "Jiajia... Xiao Wan, you two aren't sleeping in the middle of the night, playing with Wooden Blocks Ghost here?"

Xu Jiajia didn't react, while Xiao Wan turned her head and smiled: "Auntie Meili, game time is up!"
